the protests in cairo amid continuing clashes after the deadly turmoil marking the second anniversary of the revolution that toppled hosni mubarak and more deaths in egypt as crowds storm a prison where twenty one inmates are sentenced to death for their part in a football stadium massacre last year. as egypt ignites again we look into how america's new reelected president managed to turn high expectations to anger and plummeting approval ratings or process the middle east. and environmental issues the future of the legendary baikonur cosmodrome as russia clashes with kazakstan over the facilities.

around the world online on screen live from the new center here in moscow this is all a t with twenty four hours a day more to gas has been fired at protesters in car i was they refused to stop their demonstrations and at least thirty people including police officers and two football players have reportedly been killed in egypt's port saïd where crowds have attempted to storm a prison that's after twenty one people was sentenced to death accused of stirring up last year's stadium violence in the city which claimed seventy four lives and correspondent bill true is in cairo with the latest. the violence continues in egypt city airport signs we've now heard the dozens have been killed hundreds have been injured after this very contentious verdicts the army have been deployed to the streets and with this is the same as saying tanks in addition the police forces have reportedly shut access to the city also trains are being stopped at least one

stop before to the no one can actually enter meanwhile here in the capital the ultra ultra high school football fans who were the ones targeted in the massacre in february last year had cuban scenes when they heard the verdict a gathering at their headquarters saying that finally justice had been president mohamed morsi council travel plans to spend to get out of and has been meeting with the national defense council to try and come up with a way of resolving this deepening crisis i've just come from a street off the face square where the clashes continue between protesters and security forces spilling over from of course the clashes yesterday on the second anniversary of generation five revolution speaking to people in the clashes and also those behind me here in the square there saying they're still very upset with the president who they believe has not made any changes opposition coalition the national salvation front had a press conference recently and declared fine demands saying they believe the present moment morsi is not capable of bringing the country they've called for

a national salvation government to take over in the interim early presidential elections and then also announce they will be boycotting the parliamentary elections which is said to happen in april so there's a lot of anger here just from a political level as well as from a street level in the background of continuing violence and division across the country. egyptian human rights activists shima helmi says with the verdict in place the people won't buy the government's questionable attempts at serving justice for the people for saying many of them think that. the people who were convicted were actually scapegoats for the actual criminals who are supposed to be in jail like you know officials in the ministry of interior or in the military who are in power when the courts after happened and so many people think that that was that was in i just the christian. show should be twenty first people and and you can add

scapegoats for the other big person in india too many say who should be in jail and should be convicted on the other side where the the ultra larry in their supporters here in cairo i think after you know after more than ten months is criticizing and calling for a just sit and wait if you can for the martyrs if you like the verdict was the beginning of the process of serving justice for their martyred them all to nelly and this is part of the the polarization that egypt is going through it can squat some time now it feels like the the government is trying to you know like. this in the second and a great deal of lucian their chance to show people that they're actually doing something to to get justice served but this is not

a convincing for for many people egypt was at the forefront of the pro-democracy uprisings in the middle east the us supported the revolts hoping barack obama's promise of change for the region would bear fruit however after a wave of anti-american protests much of the hope his famous current speech try to inspire has been dashed on his policies investigates why. i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world words of promise a better field a region with hope will respect but as a bomb a begins his second term in office his critics fail he want to first turn that fell far short of expectations progress on peace between israelis and palestinians remain stalled the promised economic development of afghanistan never took root and american relations with post mubarak egypt deteriorated and i didn't just the u.s. and elegance community has more or less thought that it was in control of something

called the muslim brotherhood and they brought them from egypt into saudi arabia and i think they thought they could just break out of that was it all they could have. asked are was or are and they're fighting now that i'm not leaking oil also. in libya the u.s. supported the intervention by nato and its allies touting it as a great advance for security entry and rights but the fallout from it ended with the death of the american ambassador and three other members of his staff the united states was overselling their so-called triumph over al-qaeda. in a way that was really quite dishonest and dangerous because it was essentially setting the united states up for situations where. elsewhere was still just strong but getting stronger and was getting stronger because of policies that the united states had followed and it was washington's

politics that did little to win palestinians over to obama's side washington was against the upgraded status of palestine at the united nations angering but not surprising instance i would say that the people in general. stop thinking of him as a somebody who will do. us any favor or any good we realize that all our expectations which were very high turned out to be zero as a matter of fact islamophobia inside the united states is on the increase helped in no small part of by the growing negative portrayal of the muslim world in the media and hollywood recent polls show overall confidence in obama has dropped especially in muslim countries where declined by nine percent in three years global approval of his international policies is also decreased from a positive rating of thirty four percent in the muslim world in two thousand and

nine to just fifteen percent in two thousand and twelve obama came just to beautified the ugly face that bush left it's american interests that lead american presidents the only difference is that while one president smiles the other doesn't and the american system and the american interest in the middle east are the problem it's not a personal issue it is it is a political issue and that's why i didn't have a lot of hope that the arab antipathy has not been softened by a bomb the support for the arab spring or his military withdrawal from iraq few american presidents have lost a good standing with the arab world as quickly and as significantly as a bomber for him now to a new trust in america he'll have to do more than just promise a new beginning in a cairo speech policy r.t. tel aviv. the loudest thing coming from the historic baikonur cosmodrome of late has not been the roar of russian rockets but rather a row over the environmental impact because it stands demands are now threatening

to derail russia's entire space program there will only my colleague researchers spoke to. her about the dispute. baikonur has been the launch pad for soviet and russian space exploration program of course men's first ever space flight took off from that very base but now from that a lustrous past it's facing an uncertain future with speculation it could even be abandoned now most cars currently leasing the cosmodrome for a hefty annual fee of over one hundred million dollars but it's fears of environmental damage that's causing concern for the more specifically they are concerned over the launch of proton rockets which with the fuel tanks which are said by the craft after liftoff containing traces of rocket fuel which would you believe it is highly toxic but for moscow's point of view the huge annual rental fee together with the jobs provided to local people make the leasing arrangements a highly positive one for us tonight but just days ago both the russian and kazakh

foreign ministers tried to gloss over any signs of friction they have assured the media that any so-called space war is not happening and a mutual agreement has been reached for the future between the two countries many people know nasa budget has certainly been slashed by washington although india and china have got surging space programs we know that russia now really has the busiest space program in the world that must mean they have some we must have some pretty big plans for the near or not too distant future russia does keep its options open first of all the are working on the new cosmodrome which is called of us torch me it means eastern in russian and as you may have guessed it's going to be located in the far east near the border with china and the construction has begun just two years ago and russian space agency. says my story should have two of its launch pads fully operational by twenty fifteen twenty eighteen at the latest

and that will mark the beginning of the most of the step for the country's space exploration program in decades to the moon by twenty twenty says of course most adding they were. on to establish lunar bases and finish it all off with a manned trip to mars by twenty thirty and if these plans seem too otherworldly to you well they certainly do not look as such to the russian government which has approved a budget of true trillion rubles that's roughly seventy five billion years dollars for the space industry until twenty twenty. during not just a fan i've got your own privacy check out the clothing that would turn all a's in the skies if only the drones could see them the cloak of invisibility is coming your way later plus. people take it as serious as the government in a body else takes its foot on should we should we take it more seriously i think ease up it's you know it's music parties new york resident downloads local opinion on whether it's right to file share on fats and plenty of other stories after this

more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are the day. washington is looking to beef up the number of drones manning the skies over the u.s. to tens of thousands by twenty twenty all in the name of national security but a bigger brother is forcing many americans to search for creative ways to protect their civil liberties but he's honest as a chicken has more. keeping a close eye on civilians with a little help from drones. in a move approved by congress in seven years the u.s. will help thirty thousand mester drones monitoring its territory from the air that opens the door for a lot of abuses of privacy. from not just the government but corporations and

businesses too. in a fight for privacy this new york designer came up with a counter-surveillance clothing line intended to shield people from those watchful lenses a burka a scarf and a hoodie are the key garments in the collection this is a garment that's designed to be thermally reflective of which means that he bounces off it and he does what suits for thermal imaging in particular this technology is used a lot on drones and he would use if there were drawings harboring about money hardly anybody who is out on the street is clearly traceable the idea of this collection is that putting on something like this. is a bit are. these parts of your body. become very hard to detect from above from a potential fashion statement to a technology that could eventually be used in rescue operations or even on a battlefield i think are just thing. a market hasn't been addressed yet it's

a new area and it's sort of a crossover between tactical and fashion it adds a little extra coverage to the face adam harvey calls his consumer market unfashionably paranoid if you appear to me and i can see you i'm quite all. right with that but if you hear an automated systems on how to become a little more to your disadvantage because the state can be easily mind tracked and identified another counter-surveillance item in the collection the off pocket for a phone once a mobile device is put inside there are no more signals going in and out the strength of the cell phone signal out of one hundred goes down to zero in seconds from analyze fabric and that acts as a third in a cage to block the signals from the phone adam says this is a faster way to turn off your phone and block trucking since the introduction of the patriot act and since then there's been a large erosion of privacy i would say is not. confined to the us either this is

a global problem to start a conversation and make people more aware of the growing trend of surveillance to fashion is adam's goal the designer admits the clothing line is not for everybody but those who want to adapt to these new realities could now be a step closer to avoiding the gaze of big brother and state party new york. the web site right now an internal report reveals a computer giant apple child labor to produce its latest must have devices have the details in our t. dot com at the moment. that's north korea confirms its intentions of carrying out the third nuclear test saying it's the mold of the people more online.

a covert agents name to a reporter by e-mail could go a long serving cia agent retired in two thousand and four was outspoken about the use of secret interrogations waterboarding by the us could have been sentenced to eight years in prison had he not secured a plea deal with prosecutors as the author activist civil adman's police insiders will be targeted and punished for taking a stand as long as u.s. authorities continue to cover up wrongdoing. we do see this type of witch hunt action against those who leak information that exposes either government criminality or government waste fraud abuse so this is still active behind he has had a single case where whistleblowers have been successful by pursuing your so-called channels reading remedies or solutions that these very big problems are wrong joyce so when you have no channels there is only one option and that is to get

information and put it before the public whether it's through our website such as we all are partly citizens journalists there's the you know mainstream media they act as the. and of the government here in the united states there are no other channels to go to and the public has their right to know and the good god is very important to the point the public and i'm not talking about only people here in the united states but all over the world because people are being a fact that they are doing wives who are being criminalized. in other world news this hour at least fifteen thousand people have marched in the south of the british capital in protest against the proposed closure of services at a hospital that has several hospital unit including it's turning toward an accident and emergency department to be closed as part of a real winners ation program south of the south london healthcare trust was placed into administration due to huge debts demonstrators claim the plans would put lives

at risk and create a worrying political president. french troops have retaken the islam a stronghold of northern mali comes off from ali's government regain control of the city from boarding with the help of french troops as they attempt to repel rebels from the north of the country as the military intervention will continue for as long as necessary if you're going to. kill two soldiers in about two or three more neat western iraqi city from intact appears to be retaliation to a shooting by government troops on sunday contestants and that five people dead and scores wounded on friday. up to blend the army trying to prevent worship is coming out of friday prayers from joining an anti government demonstration. afghanistan on a world update and a local antiterrorism chief was among twelve people killed in twin blasts ten policemen died when a motorcycle bomber blew himself up in a market in the is the center of can do city a police officer and a civilian were killed by

a remotely detonated bomb in eastern afghanistan local police have become a frequent target of terrorist attacks for assisting nato forces within the country . that was fall sharing a crime or a vital on line the sensitive debates been raging for years in the us with the government trying to hold the exchange of digital content for free on his new york resident gauged opinion that. kim dotcom just launched his new file sharing service magda he says by using it you're saying yes to internet freedom is file sharing the future of the internet this week let's talk about that have you ever stolen a movie or music off the internet i plead the fifth i'll take that as a yes if you think there's anything wrong with that now why do people get very

angry about it and send people to jail that are not the problem is with it being wrong is that people who need to make money don't make their money. should they just figure out a new way is it up to them or is that up to us to stop taking it. have you never stolen anything off the web for moral reasons or just because you never have never . known how to if it were easy and you did know how to would you do it more often if you knew how to do it i mean criminals every day doing bad things we would expect you know should it be free should music in movies be free. by you but. i don't think people take it as serious as the government. should we should we take it more seriously hard to ease up and you know it's it's losing but it's not money coming out of your pocket like it has out of the artists or directors or studios. i don't know mobile size of the firm so i think it's been

. sort of issue it is what it was how do we stop people from stealing no if it's so easy i think they need to appreciate the arts and they need and they will appreciate and and steal music yeah i think it's better to give a dollar to the arts than you know a politician or your government yeah of course or cigarettes but maybe if some of it will go to some kind of the nation maybe it will inspire people to do so do you think though that you know the future is going to have a whole different landscape for intellectual property that will view it differently like it's kind of everyone's. i don't know i haven't really thought about it. i mean i guess if you write a song you'd still yours so you should still have get credit for it at least ninety nine cents and you had so much that. you should get something whether or not you think file sharing is the future of the internet the bottom line is enough people do it to pose a serious threat to current business models. well

that's it for me and the news team in about half an hour we'll be back with more international news way but first as breaking the set with abby martin will be after a short break here on the stay with us about this if you can. georgian president mikheil saakashvili is military police have been accused by prosecutors of using a very unusual weapon to control members of the government a weapon so unusual that history's great villains wouldn't even touch it that weapon was almost sexuality the georgian prosecutor's office claims that

a network of gay spies was set up to seduce certain politicians in order to surveil them and blackmail them the gay spies would tempt men in the government into going back to their apartments which were filled with hidden cameras and microphones to record information and create a not safe for work video to be used to put pressure on these officials this is truly one of the most unique and kind of gross weapons of political intrigue i've ever heard of i mean how many men in georgia politics could possibly fall into the spy trap you know if he actually did implement this scheme and it actually worked than machiavelli and von bismarck could have a thing or two to learn from president saakashvili but that's just my opinion. loaf.

to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i had lunch i got so many i mean family and the town i believe that i've seen the same thing really messed up. and we're all very slow motion leopoldo the. worst for going through the white house of a. radio guy and four minutes from a cricket. club or about to give you never seen anything like this until a. good day maybe i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set so guess what engineers just found about two kilometers underground in australia's coober pedy basin oil of the
